Hello,
Test rode an 8 last week and was left smitten. Had my Ducati S2R 1000 stolen so in the market for another bike. The 8 is similar ergos to the monster but obviously power delivery is very different being an i4 but I liked it, very smooth and easy to ride fast which I like.
One thing I picked up on was the standard bars seem to come upwards at the ends which took some getting used to. Ducati use magura bars which have a flatter profile and they were perfect for my reach and comfort and lean you forward a little more which is what I'd like on the 8.
My question is could I use magura on the 8 ? The centre clamping area of the Maguras are 28mm so I imagine it's whether there is suitable clamps that the 8 can accommodate ?
Has anyone fitted a lower profile bar on your 8 and if so what bar / clamps did you use.
Thanks in advance
